Aucoin's Cajun Restaurant

I visited on a Sunday night and had the worst experience I have ever had here, which still was not too bad. BUT, I would highly recommend going Friday or Saturday nights at 7, when the place is jumping with a Cajun band and it is really at its best.

There was only one girl (the daughter I believe) working as a waitress, and 4-5 full tables, so it was kind of too much to handle. Despite the slow service, the food was good.

Fried alligator as a starter was good, not dry, though a little greasy. The gumbo was only lukewarm but had good flavor. The BBQ crabs were delicious but so damn hard to eat that it took forever to get through a half dozen of them. People around us were eating pounds of crawfish, which looked great.

I really love this place and will keep coming back as it reminds me of my childhood.

My suggestions are that they sell tshirts, and have more waitstaff!

By far one of the best all around dinner spots in South Louisiana.
It has local flavor, great staff, and amazing ambiance.

I recommend getting a t-shirt too. It has been my favorite with the slogan "I got my tail pinched at Harris'"
